@Qwerty.55: Yeah, but if the processor is underclocked, it means we can set it back to its original speed without causing any trouble to the calc, no ?! But even in that case, DS emulation seems very unlikely...

It can only overclock to 116 MHz, as far as we know, which probably isn't fast enough for an emulation layer to not be noticeable.

The DS has two CPUs of a different architecture. A real-time interpreter is definitely impossible, and a recompiler is unlikely. The GBA has only one CPU, an ARM at 16 MHz, so GBA emulation may be possible.

We have to take in account the fact these handhelds also got video memory or even video cards that requires to be emulated too, right?

As far as I know, emulating a dual cpu device with only a single cpu is near impossible even if the clock speed for the device is three times higher than the emulated one. Reason being is that you have to incorporate multi-tasking on a single threaded device which is hell on any programmer.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

DS emulation is next to impossible, because there is two CPUs, and a gpu to emulate. Not to mention how awkward playing a game that uses the touchscreen would be on a calc.

Indeed. I think we should stick to other handhelds and older consoles like the NES, SNES, GB/C/A, Sega Megadrive/Genesis, etc.
